Konnie Huq Zoo Time and Her Olympic Ordeal

Following her ordeal with the Olympic torch it's good to see that Konnie Huq has been signed up to present a television series all about zoo animals.

Zoo Days will follow Colchester Zoo as it opens it's doors to the public.

Zoo Days will be on Channel 5 and the 20 episodes will be shown later this year.

And ...

... just in case you missed what Konnie Huq said about carrying the Olympic Torch:

"As I was running with the torch a guy broke out from the crowd and wrestled the torch, or tried to wrestle the torch off me.

I was determined to hang on, it was all a bit of a shock, for a while I was wrestling with it, then they wrestled him to the ground. There were so many people and everyone was shouting 'just keep going'. It was a bit surreal.

I was a bit bashed about but I guess that's par for the course in such a little brawl.

I always said my taking part in the procession didn't mean I condone China in any way. And I think a lot of the torch bearers and the athletes feel the same way.

I did the procession because I believe in the Olympic values, the ideals, I think sport on a global scale is a brilliant thing, it transcends culture, race, money.

The Olympic ethos is a great thing, it's just a shame China has such a terrible track record when it comes to human rights.

I understand the cause completely, but this is the platform on which change can occur, all eyes will be on the Olympics, media from all across the world so if any good can come out of it, that's a really great thing"

You can see Georgia Horsley, the current Miss England, modeliing the bikini here.

Konnie Huq Will Carry Olympic Torch

Though it was previously in doubt Konnie Huq has now decided that she will carry the Olympic torch. She stresses, however, that this "does not in any way indicate support for the Chinese regime."

Konnie said, "I've decided to take part because I am committed to the Olympic ideals which reach out to people. I am also carrying the torch for London 2012."

Konnie will be one of an eighty strong team that will carry the torch from Wembley to the O2 arena.

Konnie Huq Model Photo

Further to the previous post this is Konnie Huq modelling again and with a distinct new look. The hair is completely different from usual but the pink and blue clothes suit her.

A long way from Blue Peter!

Konnie Huq Takes To Modelling

Konnie Huq And Her Big Boobs

This is a photo of Konnie Huq from a recent Fabulous mag shoot but somehow it doesn't look right - too much make up for one thing.

They quote her as saying:

"I’ve had offers from lads’ mags. I wouldn’t mind, as long as it was classy and sexy. The problem is, when you have big boobs like mine, a topless photo shoot looks tacky, whereas with someone like Kate Moss, who has a flatter chest, it looks arty. I’m not going to rule anything out. I’d love to be a sex symbol. If you’ve got it, you have to use it."

Dream on!

Konnie Huq Finally Leaving Blue Peter

Konnie Huq
Today is the end of an era. Konnie Huq will bow out of Blue Peter this afternoon, the final show for her being at 5 pm on BBC1.

So what will Konnie be doing after her reign at Blue Peter? Konnie said:

"I think put my feet up. I've lined up lots of corporate work because suddenly I can do those - our schedules are so manic on Blue Peter that I couldn't do much, so now I've done the hard slog. It's random things.

One thing is I'm going to this resort in the Canary Islands and being paid loads of money to just to large it up in this resort - it's weird, the corporate world and what you get."

I'm sure we all wish her every success for the future.
